Great way to see wildlife… fully in the wild! - Really enjoyed this safari tour. Aimon was very knowledgeable and got the kids really engaged in the animal spotting process. We saw an alligator, monkeys, sloths, so many species of birds and iguanas and basilisks, and more. Light paddling requirement was fun. Aimon did all the hard work!

Safari tour - Incredible experience! Fantastic safari tour and brilliant guidance from the team and our guide Andreas. Stopped off for fresh fruits and water halfway through and then were provided a lovely local lunch at the restaurant as well as a farm tour afterwards. Would highly recommend this and would definitely come back again!

Pura Vida, plus! - 5 bright stars! We’ve done other river float tours, and this one went beyond with delightful extras: a delicious lunch, coffee-making demonstration, farm tour, and sugar can juice toast at the end. Andres and his colleagues worked hard to show us all the incredible animals on the river, answer our questions about the area, and generally make us feel a part of the pura vida vibe (gracias, senior!). We’ll treasure these memories.

Relaxing and educational tour with a delicious lunch! - We booked this at the last minute, and I'm so glad we did! From the minute we were picked up at our hotel, I knew this was going to be a positive experience. Warner was our float guide, and he was excellent. He has an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and seemed to find something new for us to look at every minute. During the tour, he pointed out a caiman, several species of birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and even an otter. It was amazing how quickly he could spot animals that we would have missed. We stopped about halfway on the float to enjoy some freshly cut pineapple and a swim in the river. My 7-year-old son had a blast! Warner made the experience fun and engaging, and he also did a wonderful job giving us a tour of the farm after the safari float. We enjoyed petting the donkey and learning about all the things they grow on the farm. The lunch was delicious and fresh, and I especially enjoyed the Costa Rican coffee Warner made for us after lunch. We've been on quite a few excursions throughout our travels, and we were impressed by the professionalism and organization of this company.

Jungle river raft - Warner was awesome. He pointed out wildlife and stopped allowing everyone to see and take pictures. The ride was relaxing and very calming as we floated down the river.
